"I've always treated him like a friend, how can he ...... me like that," she wanted to say nothing, but couldn't spit out a word. He bent down and prostrated himself on the table, burying his cheeks in the crooks of his arms, crying so much that he couldn't lift his head.

Lu Bin grabbed her arm worriedly and asked her to face him, he shook her and shouted anxiously: "Qiao Ran, raise your head!" ”

Qiao Ran couldn't suppress his tears, his head still hanging down, and tears burst out. She cried so hard that she convulsed herself into a ball with spasms. Lu Bin was frightened by her appearance, anxious and painful, and quickly hugged her into his arms, hugging her with his own arms, trying to stop her crying and spasms. He patted her twitching back, trying in vain to warm her cold body, almost pleading: "Qiao Ran, don't cry." It's all in the past, and it can't hurt you anymore. Please don't cry! ”

Qiao Ran still cried. Lu Bin had no choice but to pull her head up so that her face was facing him. Her eyes were closed, her wet eyelashes fluttering, her cheeks were stained with tears, her mouth was slightly open, and she spat out countless sobs, countless whimpering. Her spasms and crying could not be stopped. He reached out in vain to wipe away her tears, but new tears kept pouring out of the corners of her eyes, and she kept crying.

Lu Bin looked at Qiao Ran, seeing that pale face soaked with tears, watching her being torn apart and crushed by pain, but he couldn't do anything about it. Seeing that thin body trembled like a tender leaf floating in the cold wind...... He was in too much pain to deal with. Then, suddenly, he did not know what he was doing, but he leaned down and kissed the trembling lips at once, and stopped the sound of sobbing and twitching.

After Qiao Yan came out of the kitchen, she happened to see this scene, and her whole person froze in place.

I don't know how long time passed, Lu Bin slowly removed his lips and looked up at Qiao Ran.

Qiao Ran raised his eyelashes, and the trembling, spasms, and crying all disappeared as if by a miracle. A pair of eyes soaked in the mist were clear and crystalline, so shocked, so surprised, looking at him in such a distrustful, trance like a dream.

"Qiao Ran......" Lu Bin's throat was tight and painful, and he tried to speak, but he could barely control his voice. This unexpected move frightened him a lot.

"You...... Is it better? He asked softly, wanting to smile at Qiao Ran, but couldn't.

Qiao Ran still looked at him in shock and distrust, and his eyes were not instantaneous.

Then, Lu Bin suddenly discovered Qiao Yan's existence, he was shocked and jumped up from the sofa.

"I ...... I ......" He wanted to explain, clarifying that he did not mean to take advantage of Qiao Ran, but at the same time, a wonderful feeling arose in his heart, even in such a chaotic situation, he could still clearly and truly perceive that the kiss just now, like a boulder falling, set off a shocking wave in his heart, which was a feeling and experience that he had never felt in the twenty-five years of his life. So under the staggered impact of various contradictory emotions, he didn't have a single sentence that could be sounded, just scratching his ears and cheeks like a nerd, panicking.

Qiao Ran stood up in a trance and staggered forward.

Qiao Yan rushed over, Lu Bin also stretched out his hand, and the two of them supported Qiao Ran on the left and right.

"I'm fine," Qiao Ran sighed, "I just feel so tired, so tired." I want to go upstairs to sleep. ”

"I'll go up with you." Qiao Yan glanced at Lu Bin, he hurriedly let go of his hand and stood with his head down like a child who had done something wrong.

Entering the room, Qiao Ran fell softly on the bed. "Sister, don't blame Lu Bin, he's here to comfort me." Her eyes also looked at Qiao Yan softly, then sighed lowly, and slowly closed her eyes.

Qiao Yan pulled the quilt and gently covered Qiao Ran. She closed her eyes and really slept.

Qiao Yan stood for a while, walked out of the room gently, and closed the door.

The light was on in the room diagonally opposite, Qiao Yan walked in, and Yu Chihong was half-lying on her bed, looking up at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

Qiao Yan sat down beside him, a little sullen.

"Is there anything going on in the living room that worries you?" Yu Chihong sat up straight and stared at her carefully.

Qiao Yan was shocked. "You've guessed that? You deliberately walked away to create opportunities for them? ”

Yu Chihong nodded slightly, but shook his head again. "I just think that Lu Bin should be allowed to solve the problem by himself, help Qiao Ran completely come out of the shadows, and make up for his own regrets, which is good for both of them."

Qiao Yan met his gaze and smiled reluctantly, the smile was bitter and desolate. "You're wrong, Qiao Ran is not suitable for contact with men at the moment."

"Don't be so pessimistic." Wei Chihong looked at her firmly, "I can assure you that Lu Bin won't mind Qiao Ran's experience, with my understanding of him, if he falls in love with Qiao Ran, he will definitely be really good to her." ”

Qiao Yan's tense nerves immediately relaxed, and another unspeakable, contradictory, and sympathetic feeling poured into her heart. She sighed and muttered, "I'm so confused right now that I don't want to talk about this." ”

Yu Chihong's arms hugged her gently and delicately, and for a while, they hugged each other like this, listening to each other's heartbeats. It wasn't until the doorbell downstairs alarmed them that Wei Chihong let go of Qiao Yan, and the two went downstairs together.

Lu Bin was sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze, and he didn't notice anyone walking down the stairs at all, but it was Zhong Kai and Beibei's sudden intrusion that surprised him.

As soon as Qiao Yan saw Zhong Kai, her already depressed mood became more and more irritable, and she didn't care about Beibei's presence, so she asked quietly, "Is there something?" ”

"Bei Bei has been clamoring to come over to play, but I've brought her here a few times, and you're not there. There's a young girl who opens the door, and I don't know who it is. Zhong Kai obviously saw Yu Chihong, but he ignored it directly, "Take Bei Bei out for a walk tonight, thinking about trying my luck, but I didn't expect that my luck was really good." ”

"You take Babe for a walk?" Qiao Yan was a little relieved after being surprised, Zhong Kai finally began to look like a father and was willing to spend time with his daughter.

Zhong Kai saw Qiao Yan's attitude change and seized the opportunity at the right time. "Bei Bei has been more obedient than before recently, your colleague Wan Xing helped contact a kindergarten, the head teacher is her neighbor, she cares about Bei Bei very much, and Bei Bei is slowly adapting to the life of the kindergarten. Of course, if you are willing to help me, I think Bei Bei will change more and do better. ”

Qiao Yan was surprised that a person as indifferent as Wan Xing would be so attentive to a little girl who had angered her and was taught a lesson by her. But she soon understood, thinking of Wanxing taking the initiative to apologize to Zhong Kai, and following Zeng Jinling to study psychology and other abnormal behaviors, it turned out that she was thinking about Zhong Kai.

Qiao Yan glanced back, Wei Chihong was standing upright, he seemed to be calm, but his eyebrows and eyes were full of imperceptible worries. That hidden worry touched a certain nerve in her heart, making her feel a dull pain.

"Sister," Bei Bei called sweetly.

Qiao Yan turned her head, and a little timidity appeared on Beibei's face, "Can I still go here to play with Sister Qiao Ran's dolls?" ”

Bei Bei is a little elf, although she doesn't understand the affairs of adults, she can also see that Qiao Yan doesn't welcome her as much as before.

"Absolutely." Qiao Yan softened her tone, "But the dolls are all in Qiao Ran's sister's room, she is sleeping now, you can't disturb her, let's play next time, okay?" ”

Bei Bei nodded obediently.

Qiao Yan quickly made a decision in her heart. "Mr. Zhong, are you free at noon tomorrow? I want to treat you to a meal. ”

Zhong Kai was pleasantly surprised. "I'll make sure I'll make a time, you ......"

"I want to talk to you in person." Qiao Yan interrupted him, her eyes were sympathetic and sad, "The location is up to me, I'll call you tomorrow, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhong Kai raised his eyebrows, his eyes almost shining, "Then I'll wait for your call tomorrow." I'll take Beibei back first, and we'll see you tomorrow. ”

Bei Bei obediently followed her father, Qiao Yan couldn't help but sigh, I haven't seen her for many days, the little witch has undergone a transformation, there is a lot of credit for Wanxing, right?

Yu Chihong was still standing in place. And Lu Bin beside him was confused, he didn't understand what the situation was just now, he asked curiously: "Who was that just now, is it on good terms with Wanxing?" ”

Wei Chihong closed his mouth tightly and was silent. Qiao Yan had no choice but to answer for him: "That's Wei Chihong's brother, I don't know if the relationship with Wan Xing is good." ”

"Brother?" Lu Bin was surprised, "Boss, why do you and your brother seem to be very strange, you don't even say hello or talk when you meet." ”

"Both of them have personalities, and that's how they get along." Qiao Yan hurriedly explained. The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and she understood that Wei Chihong definitely did not want his subordinates to know about his family.

Lu Bin let out an "oh", remembering that he had kissed Qiao Ran out of control just now, worried that Qiao Yan would have an opinion about him, and became cramped and uneasy again.

"It's not too early, it's time for us to go." Wei Chihong finally opened his mouth, Qiao Yan was going to live in Qiao's Mansion tonight, and he was going to leave with Lu Bin.

Qiao Yan walked up to him, looked at him with some concern, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you ask, why should I invite your brother to dinner?" ”

He leaned down and kissed her lightly on the forehead, and when he looked up, there was a mist in his eyes, and he said in a low and sincere voice, "No need to ask, I'm sure you can handle it." ”
